What's new for the users ?

- PlayOnLinux automatically extract icons during the installation process to use them in the main menu.
- A bug corrected preventing user from changing a program icon
- Few translations were corrected
- Definitive correction (we hope) of $PROGRAMFILES variable problem. Script are being rewritten.
- PlayOnLinux is now available in Greek (Thank you kapcom01)

A little bit more technical for the scriptors ...

- POL_LoadVar_PROGRAMFILES was created to assign the name of Program Files directory to $PROGRAMFILES variable. In few case, when the directory was called "Program Files", the following commande returned %ProgramFiles% instead of the real name, and it was the cause of many bugs in all the scrpts.

wine cmd /c echo "%ProgramFiles%"

- POL_LoadVar_PROGRAMFILES is automatically called on prefix creating. There is no need to use it in the scripts, we just need to erase old lines that cause bugs. To be sure that the scripts will be compatible with the old version, we started to replace

The Bordeaux Technology Group released Bordeaux 2.0.0 for Linux. Bordeaux 2.0.0 marks major progress over older releases. With version 2.0.0 and onward we bundle our own Wine build and many tools and libraries that Wine depends upon. With this release we bundle Wine 1.1.36, Cabextract, Mozilla Gecko, Unzip, Wget and other support libraries and tools. We have improved support for Microsoft Office 2007 (Word, Excel and PowerPoint) and preliminary support for Internet Explorer 7 in this release, there has also been many small bug fixes and tweaks on the back-end.

The cost of Bordeaux 2.0.0 is $20.00. Anyone who has purchased Bordeaux in the past six months is entitled to a free upgrade. Bordeaux comes with six months of upgrades and support and of course a 30-day money back guarantee.

What changes does Wine 1.1.33 (What is Wine?), the latest development version, bring about:

- Gecko now installed at wineprefix creation time.
- Better support for certificates in crypt32.
- Improved sound support in mciwave.
- Some more Direct3D 10 functions.
- Many cleanups for issues spotted by Valgrind.
- Various bug fixes.

Berillions

Although Berillions got the scriptwriter status for a few days, the related announcement hasn't been made yet. It is done now :-)
A great thank to him.

MulX

For everything he has done for PlayOnLinux since the beginning of the project, MulX just got the administrator status. This status is mostly symbolic because he already had administrator privileges for quite some time.
MulX is the one to be contacted if there is a problem and I'm not available, since he has almost the same access rights than me.

Changes

The changes brought by PlayOnLinux 3.7 are:
- Right-clicking directly on the applications is now possible.
- The ability to change an application's icon.
- The ability to access very quicly to the installation directory of an application.
- The ability to stop all the applications run by PlayOnLinux at once.
- A new option: "playonlinux --debug <Application>" allows us to help you by providing more informations so that we can understand why <Application> doesn't work for you.
- A much improved manual installation procedure (e.g. you can choose the version of Wine to be used).
